The Genetics Of Flowering Response In Cotton. II. Inheritance Of Flowering Response In A Gossypium Barbadense Cross.

The inheritance of flowering response was studied in a cross between Lengupa and Pima S-I, short-day and day-neutral stocks, respectively, of G. barbadense cotton. Under natural long-day conditions of summer growth, difference in flowering response was controlled by one gene pair with the short-day, nonflowering response dominant to flowering. The gene symbols F and f are proposed.
